On that subject, when it pertains to software, I find it really odd that folks in the industry consider location as a factor in salary negotiation. Why should a developer in WV earn less than a comparable developer in CA? It’s not like the company gets less value out of the former’s work.

There must be some reason why the owners/directors of the companies making the most profit are willing to pay more. While it is possible they are making a mistake, the fact that this pay discrepancy has existed for decades, and the fact the companies are still very profitable, would suggest the probability of that is not very high. It is also possible that a systemic change like abrupt adoption of work from home across all industries and the country or even world might cause a change in the parameters that made the previous dynamic successful.
